2.
MPEG-1 is too low quality for this project.
MPEG-2 is for this project makes file too large for 1 CD (813Mb)
Is there something I can do in VS7 to specify a size requirement for the
output file?

3.
What I would ideally like is to be able to distribute a VCD/SVCD that will
play on standalone DVD players, but also if inserted into a PC,
automatically play the MPEG file in the user's media player.  Or if not
possible, autoplay a file player if I could include one on the VCD.

The other part of this question would then be how to create a VCD with
autoplay?

Am I making sense or do I sound as confused as I really am?

Many thanks,
Steve :)

1)  I've rendered mpg2s with VS and they worked great. You can use TMPGenc,
but you have to pay for their mpg2 encoder after a 30 day trial.

2) a 813 MB file should burn fine onto a 700 MB CD in SVCD format. Don't ask
me why, but I know that it works.

3) If you make an SVCD, the mpg2 can be extracted again (freeware/ shareware
program). SVCDs can also be played with computer DVD playing software, such
as WinDVD.

HTH a little
